A man who says he broke his ankle jumping into the sprinkle pool at the Museum of Ice Cream in New York City has filed a lawsuit alleging that the facility was negligent for not warning visitors that it is unsafe to jump into the sprinkle pool.

    Actually somewhat reasonable lawsuit. They specifically advertised it as something to jump into.

      Eeeh. Its reasonably to try I guess, but looking at the examples, its cherry picked promotional materials where the words jump and dive were used as swimming related puns for going to the museum. None of them were literal advertisements about jumping into the sprinkle pool.

        Ofcourse, if you had any level of common sense then this would never happen. But usually these types of lawsuits are either not in good faith or because the alternative is sitting on insane medical debt.
